Orange peel?


cx5

Question

Is there any write ups or videos on what needs to be done to a one week old car that the pain on door panels looks like orange peel effect?  i plan on advanced ceramic coating it in two weeks when i have access to a garage and want to know if i have to use compound or can i just get away with polishing it after i iron remover and clay bar it first ?  newbie to polishing and a little freaked out about having to correct anything major especially on a week old car i just got.  

 

any help would be appreciated.

Compounding and polishing will not remove orange peel.  Wet sanding will but this is not a task for someone who is starting to learn.  There are plenty of videos on new car preps.  

 

It is a good idea to use an iron remover to ensure that there is no fallout on the paint. You can judge from there if you need to clay.  The car may be new but how long was it on the lot and also that it was in transit to the lot.  

 

As far as compounding and polishing, do a test spot with the polish and see if the finish is what you want.  If it is then no need to compound.
